Hello there....
I'm looking for some help with identifying an old buffet I've just restored.
Inside the drawers it is stamped (rather faintly) manufactured by Jones & Dunn Australia....... then manufactured by european labour.
Also printed on the bottom of the drawer is Federal Veneer Alex something (too faint to read).
I'm trying to date this piece. My understanding the of european labour thing is that this stamp was used pre 1950.
Any help would be appreciated.
I havent taken any photos yet but I've attached one before I tarted it up!

Cheers, Deanne.

Thanks Astrid. I was wondering if it'd be somewhere around 1920's.
